Despite the NASAM and the IRIS-T systems the [F]Ukrs seems to have some major difficulties tracking - let alone stopping Geran-2 attack drones

It's floating partially above the water line; let's say ~30cm / ~40cm. It is sticking out of the waves, but I am not an expert in radar technology as to why it doesn't bounce back signals. Maybe it is just below the required radar horizon. Not sure if you can use sonar systems just below the waterline either to detect it.
If you are only relying on optical, in dark circumstance, you're absolutely at risk.

That Ukro USV was blown out of the water by Russian helicopters. Video clearly shows that.flamming_python wrote:No AK-630s you might note though. They can be aimed manually but probably don't have optics optimized for that.

Add a few Grachenoks to the defence of the harbor. Some blimp (aerostat) with good optics could help, too.JohninMK wrote:You need radar almost with the sensitivity to detect periscopes. Tough task.
This will boost R&D on these drones too.

But Russians gotta pussyfoot
Now that this event happened the recklessness of US/UK/Ukraine and all involved covert organizations has been exposed. China, India, Iran, Turkey, Saudis' all have been informed and can't do anything than side with Russia's cancellation of the agreement because it is clear who is at fault here. These transports were a neutral zone in order to avoid food shortages. Well ... guess who fucked up.

According to some reports It appears Ukronazistan, Turkey and the UN are going ahead with grain exports without the participation of Russia…so how is Russia going to stop it now? Engage civilian vessels or Turkish navy?
Once you start pussyfooting, is it just a snowball effect.

The Battalion Tactical Group was a novel attempt to solve a tricky force generation problem, which allowed Russia to keep potent combined arms formations in a ready state. They are high firepower units that proved capable of dishing out horrific punishment - but they are (and always were) temporary derivatives that are simply not designed for a war of attrition or manning a wide front. With mobilization underway, it seems that the time of the BTG has come to a close.
